Naturally Speaking

Submitted by admin on Wed, 06/15/2016 - 7:06am

Homeowners have been known to have gardens on rooftops. Some turtles had that idea long before people put out those plant pots.
Some green algae have found a turtle’s outer shell, its carapace, is just fine for living and staying wet most of the time. The alga is an epiphyte; it probably gets no nutrients directly from the turtle, but just hangs out, reproduces, and grows there. It is impossible for the turtle to reach around and feed on the greens.

Dairy Days Queens Brunch

Submitted by admin on Wed, 06/15/2016 - 6:43am

I’m making my list and checking it twice. It is a busy time when planning to feed a crowd. I need a small army of helpers to assist me on June 25th to pull this brunch off. I am hoping it will be a great success. I cook all the time, but not for this number of people. Many hands will help with all the preparation, actual meal, and clean up. I am still hoping some high schoolers will contact me as they can earn points for their 2016-2017 volunteer programs. The kitchen is in the basement, the dining hall is upstairs.
